Now I'd hardly say I'm a fan, but they've got some corking tunes, and having seen them live a few months ago, they put on one HELL of a show that'd put most so called 'legends' to shame.

~Don't talk about angels Or how I'll be saved I'm no coward But I'm not that brave Rags are blowing Rain's getting near I'm done with running And it's getting dark in here~ ~Sleep in peace old friend for me you'll never die~

I get what you are saying but I think they have some good songs. I remember hating them when Dookie came out. I also hated Blink 182 but some of their stuff is OK now. Very stupid lyrics but catchy pop/punk.

Yes, a few individuals have said a similar thing to me over the years. I confess, I have not heard everything they have done, just some of their early material and well-known stuff.

I still find their early material to be pretty dire tbh. Dookie is supposedly a classic but it sounds like it was recorded in an upside down fridge in the middle of a swamp, after being written backwards in crayon.

I find the earliest songs of theirs I like are on Nimrod (things like Hitching A Ride), and Warning is the first album I'd actively listen to now. Uno/Dos/Tre were massively overproduced, but the Demolicious album that has rawer versions of a lot of those tracks is great fun.

Actually, my favourite 'Green Day' record by a mile is the one they released under a pseudonym: The Foxboro Hottubs. It's very much a punky rockabilly style rock-n-roll album, and is so much fun!

I may check out The Foxboro Hottubs if the music is as fun as you say.

The best thing I have seen from Green Day so far is the video put up just recently of all their fans singing Bo Rhap before the start of their concert - they sang their hearts out.
